Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 1891

Chapter 1891

Ellen knew that it was the latter, but she felt like she was dreaming and couldn’t believe it was real. “Did I scare you today?” Jared asked as he was done putting ointment on her wound.

Lost in thought, Ellen met his gaze and her heart skipped a beat. She wanted to shake her head but nodded instead. “A little bit.”

Jared stood up and caressed her head. “I got angry at them, not you. Why were you so nervous?”

Ellen didn’t dare say that he looked really scary when he got angry! “Don’t wander around and rest well in the office.” Jared finished his sentence and took the medicine box with him as he left.

Shortly after, Ellen’s phone rang. It was Connor, so she answered, “Hello! Uncle Connor!” “Ellie, it’s my birthday this Saturday and I want to have a big party. You have to come.”

“Okay, I will be there.” Ellen couldn’t refuse because her uncle was the closest person to her in the world.

The following week, Ellen went to work every morning and attended driving school every afternoon. She felt fulfilled, especially during her thrilling driving lessons that had her nerves stretched tight. She could see that Jared was also busy, he was either attending meetings or en route to one.

Occasionally, she saw him talking in the corridor with the company’s high-level executives as if they were solving a big problem. So, she tried not to disturb him.

Early Thursday morning, Ellen’s bank account was credited with her salary from last month, which totaled around 82,000. She was puzzled when she saw the amount on her company card. Why was the amount so high? It was her first month’s salary, and there were even decimals. This meant that the finance department had calculated her salary accurately!

Ellen suddenly began to wonder what the purpose of her job was. What she had done was to make a few cups of coffee for Jared, goof off, read books, and study for her driver’s license. Yet, he still paid her such a high salary. To be honest, she felt a little guilty for accepting the salary.

“Rather than writing me a note to show your concern, it’s better if you accompany me for a meal.”

“Ah! But I’ve already taken a cab home.” “Then wait for me at your doorstep. I’ll be right there.” The man on the other end of the line sounded bossy.

Nevertheless, Ellen’s heart felt sweet as she replied, “I haven’t gone far. I’ll wait for you at the mall.” “Okay,” the man said.

Soon, Ellen got off the cab and waited for him in a conspicuous location. Sure enough, in less than 10 minutes, the man’s sports car came into view. It was very eye-catching among the other cars.

Then, Ellen opened the car door and got in. Inside, the man wore a simple white shirt, looking both charming and enigmatic. This man made her think of a phrase, ‘The simpler, the more luxurious’.
